"The boss only wants young girls, and they have to be pretty and lively. The prettier the better."
After the traffickers said this, Xue Huan realized that the girls they abducted were indeed very good-looking, with fair skin and pretty looks.
"Who's the one above?"
"I don't know either. I only know that he's a big shot from the capital. Although he deliberately concealed his appearance and figure, I couldn't hide his accent."
Someone from the capital?
It seems that this is not just a human trafficking case, there is something deeper hidden inside.
Xue Huan asked a few more questions and learned that this group of human traffickers had harmed countless girls from good families over the years. She wished she could just kill these scumbags.
She has this ability, and she can also clean up the bodies of these people so that no one can find any flaws, but this won't work.
She couldn't let herself go. These scumbags and beasts didn't deserve to have blood on her hands.
After the last three human traffickers were caught, Xue Huan deliberately lured the patrolling city guards over.
She doesn't need to worry about what happens next.
The government will take care of it.

Imperial Palace, Yaochi Palace.
In the bedroom, the imperial concubine sat in front of the dressing table, looking at her face carefully. When she thought of what that little bitch Zhang Ying said, a hint of hatred flashed in her eyes.
"Aunt, you are old now. How can you compete for favor with those young concubines who are as beautiful as flowers? Instead of watching His Majesty being seduced by those bitches, you might as well give me the opportunity. At least we are both surnamed Zhang and are family. If we join forces, who in this palace can be our opponent? What do you think?"
What did she think? She shouldn't have pitied this little bitch and brought her into the palace!
This niece is really something. On the one hand, she is fawning and trying to please her, and on the other hand, she is secretly having an affair with the emperor behind her back, stepping on her to get to the top!
Humph, don't you want to be His Majesty's woman? I'll grant your wish, I just hope you don't regret it when the time comes!
The secret conversation between the aunt and niece was known to heaven and earth, you and me. Afterwards, with the help of the imperial concubine, Zhang Ying was successfully named a noble lady and was given the title of "Ying".
During this period, the emperor stayed at Concubine Ying's house every night, and she was very proud of it.
On the surface, the imperial concubine still maintained harmony with Zhang Ying, but secretly watched her become the target of public criticism with cold eyes.
Suddenly, a figure in a black robe appeared in the mirror. The man in the black robe took off his hood, and the face revealed was none other than the National Master Fang Xing.
He walked forward, bent down and put his hand on the concubine's shoulder.
The imperial concubine looked at his reflection in the mirror coldly.
"What's wrong? Are you unhappy to see me?"
The imperial concubine pointed at her face and said, "See? My face. I haven't had the blood lotus soup for a few days. My skin color has become much darker."
The Imperial Master's fingers gently brushed across her cheek. "How could that be? Your Majesty is still as beautiful as ever."
The imperial concubine snorted softly, "You're just saying nice, empty words to coax me. I'm not one of those fools out there who gets carried away by a few sweet words. Just tell me one thing for sure: when will the blood lotus soup be delivered?"
"It's almost done. I'll have the Blood Lotus Soup ready and send it to Her Majesty within five days."
The imperial concubine frowned: "Five more days?"
The Imperial Master's hand gradually moved downwards, his breathing becoming heavier. "There's still another batch of goods that haven't arrived yet."
The imperial concubine, however, was not so quick to react. She grabbed his hand and said, "No, I can't wait that long. Just find some good stuff in the imperial capital and send the blood lotus soup to me within two days. Otherwise, how can I leave the house?"
She turned around, and the ending of her voice had a hint of coquettishness.
Fang Xing: "Your Majesty, there are many spies in the imperial capital. If something goes wrong accidentally—"
"You just need to be careful. Why, Master Imperial Master, are you afraid of this little difficulty? Just tell me, can you do it?" The imperial concubine cast a provocative glance at him.
A man can't say no. The Imperial Master picked her up and walked towards the bed: "Then it depends on whether the queen is willing to work hard."
Late at night, Fang Xing returned to his Imperial Master's Mansion through a secret passage.
Beneath his bedroom in the mansion was a secret room, within which lay a pool of surging blood. In the center of the pool, and in each of the four directions, there was a stone platform slightly raised above the surface. On each platform, a young girl was bound with iron chains.
There was a deep wound on their wrists and ankles, and blood flowed out from the wounds along the grooves on the stone platform and into a pool of blood.
They lay on the stone platform with their eyes closed, motionless, only the slight rise and fall of their chests indicated that they were still alive.
You can imagine how painful it was for them to be bled alive and feel their vitality constantly draining away.
In contrast, the five blood lotuses floating in the blood pool, nourished by blood, bloomed more and more beautifully and enchantingly, as if they were condensed from blood.
The secret room is surrounded by interconnected passages, forming a huge underground maze.
It's unknown when and by whom this maze was built, but it has been abandoned for a long time, and many passages are blocked. Fang Xing accidentally discovered it and reopened some of the secret passages, using them to do many shameful things.
Using the blood of a young girl to nourish the blood lotus is just one of them.
In another secret room, several girls or young women were imprisoned. Without exception, they were all very beautiful and were fed well with good food and drink every day in order to keep them healthy. This way, the blood released would be fresh and could provide enough nutrition for the blood lotus.
However, being locked up in such a secret room without sunlight, being treated like animals, with people being taken away every day and never coming back, these girls quickly became thin and haggard in the fear day after day, no matter how good the food was.
Like withered flowers.
Fang Xing came to the front of the secret room and his eyes swept over the girls as if he was picking vegetables. They couldn't help but shudder. They all knew that another companion was going to be taken away by this devil.
Although I don’t know what the consequences will be if he takes me away, it will definitely be terrible.
Some people couldn't help crying, but they didn't dare to make any sound, for fear of being noticed by the devil outside.
Finally, the devil came in and took one of the girls away.
Some people are relieved, while others are even more desperate.
Fang Xing carried the girl to the secret room of the blood pool. When the girl saw the situation inside, she was so frightened that she lost her voice and tears kept falling from her eyes.
Fang Xing gently wiped her tears, but the words he said were more devilish than a devil, "Why are you crying? You should feel honored to be the nourishment of the blood lotus."
The girl on the stone platform on the west side gasped for a few times after hearing this, and then died. Fang Xing pulled her down as if he was dealing with some dirty thing, and threw her directly into a burning bronze furnace in the corner of the secret room.
Then he tied the girl he brought to the stone platform, cut her limbs and let her bleed.
